A Sleepy Headed Duke,

The Duke of Edinburgh is getting up a
reputation as the champion sleeper and
also as the champion boor among all the
royal personages of Europe. Last spring
this sleepy headed admiral laid such stress
upon the enjoyment of his slumbers at
Cannes, on the occasion of Queen Vic
toria's visit to that place, that he refused
to allow the British fleet under his COM.
mand to return the royal salute of the
French squandron to his mother until he
had slept all he wanted 10, which did not
come to pass until several hours after the
time that official courtesy demanded an
acknowledgment in kind of the noisy
welcome of the French guns. Of course
the French admiral and the French peo,
pie were furious over this marked dis
courtesy.
But the Duke of Edinburgh sleeps il
spite of everything, For example, it j.
reported that recently the British DIedi
terranean fleet arrived at an Algerian port
and the French officials went on board
the flagship to pay their respects to thu
duke rs the commander Of the squadron
But Edinburgh was at his usual business
lie was SO fast asleep that his valet re-
fused to arouse him, and the insultct
Frenchmen hurried ashore without {
chance to pay their respects. The mat
tress of this boorish duke must certainl,
be stuffed with poppies. New Yorl

Pay of European Legislators.

Some curious statistics have been pub
lished concerning the salaries given to
members of parliament in various for
eign nations. To begin with France, the
senators and deputies receive the same
nerpton--namely, Ell day. In
Belgium each member Of the chamber
Of representatives gets Ell month. In
Denmark the members Of the landsthirg
IRE paid about l5s. q day. In Portugal
the peers and commons are given the
came sum, which is e8T year. In
Sweden the members OF ths diet receive
'G06 for a session Of four months,
hut they have to refund a fine of
lbs. for every days absence. That is
not bad idea. In Switzerland the
members of the national council get los.
per diem, and those of the council of
state from 6s. to los. In Norway the
members of the stoltking receive Jas. a
day during the session, which lasts about
six weeks. In Italy the senators and
deputies are not paid, but they are al.
lowed travelling expenses and certain pri-
'vileges. In Spain the members of the
cortes are also unpaid, but enjoy many
advantages and immunities. In Greece
the senators get eco q month and the
deputies G10. In Germany the repre-
sentativcs receive an average of los. q day.
In Austria tho pay is the same as in
France, II day. England is the only
country where members of parliament are
not only unpaid. but have no right tc
privileges. Pail Mall Gazette.

Poisons in Food.

We are hearing good deal of late
about poisons in food containing protein
compounds, such as the casein of milk
and the myosin of lean meat and fish.
The protein compounds are prone to de-
cay-that is, to be decomposed by the
action of the ferments called bacteria or
microbes. In certain forms of decompo-
sition substances Of more or less poison
GUS nature, called ptomaines, are formed
from protein. 1t appears to be in this
way that poisonous compounds are formed
in cheese, meats, etc. While the true
digestive ferments, such as the ptyalin of
saliva and pepsin Of gastric juice, are
very different from the ferments just
spoken of, yet microbes exist in the di-
gestlve apparatus of even the healthiest
people, and within a short time past it
has been found that poisonous compounds,
formed probably by the action Of mi
crobes, often occur within our bodies.
The natural inference-it Is not posi-
lively proved, thinks that there may
be cases in. which the protein of certain
kinds of food is thus transformed into in
furious substances while passing through
the alimentary canal. Perhaps this is the
reason why certain persons cannot endur:
milk without pain or nausea, and it ID
not impossible that many Of the cases in
which one kind Of food or another causes
sickness may, in the light of future re.
search, be attributed to such fermenta'
tions within the body.-W. o. Atwatel
in The Century.

Siena of Wind.

Father Dominick Navarette in the
Seventeenth century discovered certain in
fallible signs of wind. One never failing
token twas the running and fluttering
about of little insects aboard the ship,
and the more restless they are the higher
the wind, and by observing what place
they came from mariners shall know if
it will be fair" Another sign, accord
ing to his reverence, is when pigs begin
to run and tumble about ship in a
calm. Baumgarten, in his "Travels,
says he was with pilot who, by putting
his finger in the mouth and then holding
it up, prognosticated to us that we
should have wind very speedily, which,
indeed, proved accordingly" All that
the modern sailor can do by wetting his
finger and lifting it is to feel if there be
any movement in the air. The digit has
long ceased to be q sibyl. Formerly the
Brittany fishermen raised the wind at
will by procuring the dust swept out of a
certain church and blowing it in the
direction from which they desired the
breeze to come. Sandman sailors also
possessed the same useful art. To pro-
cure fair wind they had nothing to do
but to sweep chapel after mass and
blow the dust of it after departing ships.

Senator Frye of Maine, who has just
returned from Europe, gives, in an inter-
view, his impressions of the condition of
the masses of the people abroad: 1.-The
people in Europe live on The poorest food,
and mighty little of it. found that
laborers in Glasgow work for Is. Cd. a
day-sixty-two cents. I was charmed
with Edinburgh, but when saw women
drunk, fighting in her beautiful streets,

cannot convey to you the picture Of the
degradation and want throughout Great
Britain caused by drink.
Speaking of wages, I found girls in
factories i'll Venice working with great
skill for from five to twelve cents day,
the most experienced getting twelve
cents day, out of which they have to
live. But how they live is wonder.
Their chief diet is macaroni. Farm hands

cents day. Women do most of the
field work. I saw no improved machin-
cry on the farms of the continent. ]
have seen twenty women in one field at
work, not single man in sight. The
plain people have meat to eat but once a
week on the continent. The condition OF
American wage earners is incomparably
better than that of the working people
in Europe. 1t is the difference between
comfort and competence and discomfort
and insufficient food and clothing. -

''The day of the water wheel is over, -
said O large manufacturer. ~ don't
know of any business that has suffered 10
much as ours from new inventions. The
many excellent portable and gas engines
that have been put on the market within
tho last few years have almost entirely
superseded the cumbersome water wheel.
There will undoubtedly always be GER
tain demand for wheels where they have
been already in operation and where tho
water supply is good, but new factories
find it cheaper to run by steam than to
build mill dams. The new order of
things no longer leaves the manufacturer
at the mercy Of the elements. Fortunes
have been lost ON forfeited contracts by
mills having to close down in the busy
season on account of long continued
drought. The water wheel trade is now
largely confined to foreign markets and
new countries, They disappear as popu-
lation increases and gas is Introduced. -

Cable Roads Preparing for Frost.

The Gable Road company are already
preparing for winter. When the road
was built due allowance was made for
the expansion and contraction of the
ironwork itself caused by heat and cold,
but the pressure on the rails caused by
ths same agencies seems to have been en-
titely forgotten. The first cold snap Of
~inter brought any quantity of trouble
70 the company. 1t froze the rain and
snow water which had been allowed TO
settle in the spaces between the paving
stones lying between the rails and the
iron forming the slot through which the
grips pass.
The stones spread farther and farther
apart, and, pressing against the ironwork,
closed up the slot so effectually that the
grips were gripped firmer than they ever
grasped the cable, and the road was
blocked completely until gangs of men
tore up the pavement at various points
and pried the slot open with crowbars.
The company are now busily engaged
relaying the pavement between the tracks,
leaving considerable space between the
stones. These spaces are first filed with
gravel and finally run as full of hot pitch
as possible, in the hope that water will
find no space to lodge and freeze in this
winter.-New York Evening Sun.

A VERY SINGULAR RIVER.

An Anomaly In Nature - But Little
Changed Since the Day Of Its Birth.
As I said, l know know not what to
call this Saguenay. Rivers have banks,
but it has none; for lofty and precipitous
cliffs, mountains Of rock, pre1lpices that
rise 1000 feet sheer upward from the
tide and beetling crags--these cannot,
without misuse of language, be called
river banks. Nor is it fit to call it a
stream, for stream is line Of flowing
water smaller than river, and the Sague-
nay is one from and o half to two miles
wide, and from 400 to 1000 feet in
depth, and all this monstrous deptl, Of
water is in motion. Nor is it an outlet
merely, for into it flows the surplus
water OF Lake st. John. But this lake is
shallow, not deep, and but little more
than half the length Of the Saguenay,
and hence its fowage, large as it is, is
but tithe, nay, only q hundredth part
Of what the latter holds and pours into
the st. Lawrence daily. Hence, ii we
call the Saguenay river, it is not be-
cause that word describes 1t or is o proper
title to it, but because OF its strange char
acteristics. It stands an anomaly in
nature, and there is no better name to
give it than to call it river.

CABLING BY CIPHER.

How Ctphor Codes Are Made and Why
They Are Used by Brokers.
The people who use the cables most are,
first. merchants engaged in the import
and export tEnde, who employ it for the
exchange of prices and offers, single
transaction often requiring many mes.
sages. Second. the stock brokers and
dealers here and in Europe, especially the
arbitrage brokers, whose business con.
aists in taking advantage of the difference
between the price of the same stock at a
given time on the New York and London
exchanges. For instance, II stock drops
suddenly in New York, by quick work a
purchase can be made here and the stock
resold in London before the change has
lowered the price there. Each of the
corresponding brokers realizes profit
wholly due to the close cable connection
which enabled them to take advantage of
a situation which could exist but few
minutes. A third great class of the
cabling public includes the news agencies,
the companies sending press reports, COM
mercial reports and market quotations
night and day the year round. The class
of least Importance to the companies is
that using the cable only occasionally for
private and non-comnercial messages.
Cabling by cipher, which is the method
most commercial houses employ for the
sake of economy as well as Of privacy,
has become q science. The preparation of
many of the cipher codes is most ingen-
ious, and cipher messages demand the ut
most skill and care on the part of the
operators. A cipher word may stand for
as many as six figures, and each one of
these figures may stand for sentence OF
a price, and its correctness be of the
highest Importance. The day Of the
week, the place Of word in a sentence,
may each have a special significance, and
the wrong use Of a single figure may
transpose the entire significance of every
subsequent character in the message
Gable codes may be made up from words
of any language to be found in standard
dictionaries Of that language, but the
companies rules provide that they shall
not exceed ten letters in length and shall
not be proper names. Some cable codes
use as many as 10000 words. in diff.
ferent languages, meaning nothing ex.
cept through the combination figures
they stand for. Vastly simpler figures
are used for domestic telegraphing.
wherein each word stands for whole
sentence. Cheap cable rates tend greatly
to do away with the use Of cipher mes.
sages.
In the making of cable codes exceed.
ingly elaborate tables are required, con.
tanning combinations of figures and sen.
tences Of the most complicated sort.
There are many different systems, but all
require great study to make and great
deal Of expert skill to use. The danger
of Iuistale is considerable, and anything
: that would tend to simplify codes is de-
sirt,blc. The most potent influences
would ba low rates. For while most
cipher codes were originally used for the
sake of privacy, this is now deemed less
important than the economy Of brief
messages. This is really the chief object
Of cipher cabling.--Eew York CONNER
